DCEmu is Back

Its 2017 and DCEmu the Homebrew and Gaming Network is Back and better than before, we have condensed the sites and forums and got rid of ads, the future is here and bright at DCEmu., If you would like us to do reviews of your Games/Gaming Products/Electronics or wish to advertise/write/post articles in any way at DCEmu then use our Contact Page for more information.

For the last year ive been away from DCEmu and once you step away its hard to get back but I decided a while back that its time to go back to basics and condense all the sites as far as I can, get rid of meaningless sites and then when I have it all as I want it, get back to newsposting like I used to years ago, with that in mind, all our Nintendo News is now going to be under one site, that means all the DS, 3DS, Wii, Wii U, Gamecube, N64, Snes, GBA, NES, GBC, GB and any future news will all be together.

When I start posting news again we will host our files also and get back to the good old days.

For those who know me know ive been a fan of emulation for 20 years or more, the reason i started a videogames website was purely because i like to play emulators of old consoles on a single device.

Recently the homebrew/emulation scene has been stagnant, no real breakthroughs means that the best way is to buy a device that is made for emulation fans like myself, i reviewed the JXD S7300 Android Tablet and for a fan like me i loved it. The Android tablet was for me perfect, the mixing of old style controls and touchscreen inside an Android OS and with Gamecenter X you could download games onto your console with no messing around, the console/tablet game with Android/N64/Megadrive/Arcade/GBA and Nes Emulators with games built in, beyond awesome.

Overview : You might have come across the problem to use the touch screen mobile in winter? XCM tattoo phone glove made just for iPhone, iPad and similar touch enabled device, it made of high quality material and built in the conductive contact place on the fingertip of the gloves (capacitive tips for thumb, index finger and middle finger), guaranteed to keep your finger snug and warm on that cold windy day, the XCM tattoo phone glove has a cool tribal tattoo design and almost always eye-catching.

Features:

High quality 3rd party product.

Made of high quality material and built in the conductive contact place on the fingertip of the gloves (capacitive tips for thumb, index finger and middle finger).

Works on smart phones, tablets or other touch screen devices.

Quality/Usability : Ever tried to use your smartphone or tablet in the blistering cold where your fingers freezes? What about trying to use your phone with your gloves on but nothing registers or your gloves are just too bulky?

XCM has a glove that allows you to use your smartphone, tablet and other touch screen devices without freezing your fingers.

The glove is made of soft cotton/polyester material. From what I can see, it comes in one size and one color only. It does have 2 different tribal designs to choose from. In regards to size, I'm 5' 9" and I think I have average size hands and it was a bit snug but did stretch enough that my fingers were at the tip of the glove.

On the thumb, index and middle finger, there are three conductive contact place on the fingertip of each glove. This allows you to swipe, select and even zoom in or out.

Does it protect your hand from the cold and blistering wind? Yes. But don't expect it to be winter gloves where you can use it to throw snowballs. One thing I did notice was that if your hands get sweaty, the moisture will come through the glove and leave wet marks on your device.

Conclusion : Overall, the gloves work fine. I didn't have any problems with it not swiping or pinch zooming. It would be nice if the gloves ran a little bigger or at least offered 2 sizes (S/M and M/L).

Nintendo has an annoying habit of defying what many people expect them to do.After conditioning the games press into expecting precise and targeted Nintendo Direct messaging, yesterday's 2DS announcement was a bit of a ham-fisted mess.While lots of people will peer at the peculiar 2DS and wonder what it means, it has left me convinced that Nintendo's investing smartly in what lies ahead, and what lies beyond the DS/3DS line.Maybe its next move in handheld games will be into that area we've all wondered about: a proper Nintendo-style tablet device. And if Nintendo moves in this direction, I reckon it will do this world justice.2DS is a sensible step for Nintendo. It is cheap both in terms of RRP and cost, seems correctly targeted at the value end of the market, physically it looks robust, and it launches just as Nintendo plans to release the latest in its evergreen Pokemon franchise.But it's just a single step, a short stride.The bigger leap, a more relevant tablet-style device in tuned with the future of handheld games could be next.I know: it's massively obvious to point out that a Nintendo games tablet will follow. And conversely a lot of people - my colleagues included - think it's ludicrous, that Nintendo will forever march to the beat of its own drum. After all, Nintendo's charm lies in how unpredictable it is.But there's plenty of evidence that points to Nintendo at the very least investing better for what lies ahead, if not a specific tablet device.Nintendo earlier this year merged its home hardware and handheld device design teams into one big unit, with the express aim of sharing know-how, technology, and building a bridge between consoles and portables. The 2DS itself looks like the first product of that, and a move towards-slate style devices - its 'two' screens are in fact even one large touch-screen to cut costs. Then there's Nintendo's existing tablet the Wii U controller, itself an experiment in the second screen ideas borne from asking how small touch screens can interact with big-screen games.I'm not the first to think these things add up to more, and I won't be the last. But there are two particular factors at play around 2DS, and Wii U, that have me excited by the prospect of Nintendo's next full hardware platform, should things play out in this direction. And it really has to launch something new sharpish - Wii U isn't cutting it, and the dual-screen format has limited life-span, as I argue below.A NEW GENERATIONFirstly, there's the marked speed with which 2DS has appeared and what that might tell us about some subtle shifts for Nintendo.Nintendo characteristically refreshes its handheld hardware every year, so in a sense the 2DS is a bit overdue. But this time around the device is explicitly chasing the cheaper end of the market, and in some ways is pushing its handheld to the sub-£100 ultra mass market audience at least a year earlier than you'd expect.That's a surprise because this year the 3DS has done very well. It is the only format *growing* its software sales this year in the UK, outselling all others.So arguably Nintendo has done well enough this year to potentially work through Christmas without any shift in primary target demographic, as it is doing in Japan where 3DS rules and 2DS isn't being released.Some key reasons could explain why Nintendo has stepped things up a gear, however:- The core audience XL is aimed at has been saturated - adults and Nintendo fans have had their fill, especially given how spoilt for choice they have been this year in terms of first-party games on 3DS.- Plus there is pressure around every corner from Nintendo. It is feeling pinched by both newcomers and incumbents, from iPad to the threat of next-gen. So a highly competitive price and youth-friendly device is a good way to steel the business ahead of Christmas.That just leaves Nintendo to speed up the DS/3DS/2DS transition swiftly in order to wrap this platform's story up ahead of schedule.This would certainly please investors in the short-term, while Nintendo dreams up its next move. Even with buckets of cash in the bank, company president Satoru Iwata has been asked by analysts and commentators about having to compete with other game markets on iOS and beyond. It's reached the point where he is politely exasperated by this talk - no, Nintendo doesn't consider smartphones direct competition; yes, they are still focused on marrying their own hardware and software concepts; no, he won't resign just because the firms sales have slowed after the most successful period in its history.2DS in that context leapfrogs ahead to the chapter where Nintendo is growing its audience once again, and priming a new generation (of humans, that is, not hardware) with the core IPs that will prop up the next format.GETTING SOFTWARE RIGHTAnd it's how Nintendo is approaching software which gives me further cause for optimism about what might come next in its handheld games efforts.Lazy commentary says that Nintendo should retreat from consoles

Whether you're the owner of a local gaming shop or the parent of the world's most spoiled child, now you, too, can make a sizable investment in the momentary, fleeting happiness of a youth with this "life-size" Mario statue.

Available for ¥285,000 (about $2,900) from Amazon Japan, the statue stands five feet tall and is made from fiber-reinforced plastic. There aren't really any bells or whistles to speak of, what with it being a statue and everything, but it doesgive the owner a reference point for extrapolating the heights of everyone else in the Mario mythos. Is that worth nearly $3,000? Probably. Do we have $3000?Nope. Click up on the source link below for the fully-in-Japanese details, but be warned that the related items on this listing are not safe for work.

O2 is to offer free wi-fi access to 3DS and DS owners across the UK.
Owners of the handhelds will now see their machines automatically connect to internet hotspots that use O2’s service. These include McDonalds, Debenhams, Pizza Hut, Costa Coffee, House of Fraser, Toby Carvery, Bluewater and large parts of London boroughs Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea.
Connection will be automatic and not require authentication, although users will need to have their machines updated to the latest firmware.
The on-screen Nintendo Zone icon will blink when entering a compatible area.
“We’re always looking at ways to improve the user experience for Nintendo 3DS owners,” Nintendo’s UK marketing and PR director Shelly Pearce stated.
“This partnership with O2 means that gamers will now have access to all of the unique online features offered by Nintendo Zone in more locations than ever before.”
O2 wi-fi MD Gavin Franks added: “Nintendo is a leading brand in the gaming world and have shown real innovation in the industry, making them an ideal partner for O2 Wifi.
“With the popularity of online multiplayer gaming continuing to rise, customers are looking for a fast, free accessible Wi-Fi connection when they’re on the move – something that we know is becoming perceived as a right, rather than a privilege. This deal will enable Nintendo 3DS gamers to automatically connect their device to O2 Wifi whenever they are in over 7,000 hotspots across the UK’s top venues, restaurants and retailers.”
